    Speaking of the Irish, I watched Bloody Sunday the other day. Good film.

    Someone in London has a Report on the Scottish Atlantic Margin oil and gas potential. It is inconceivable to think otherwise. Like the McCrone Report, it is being conveniently `concealed` at this point in time. The Scots are being taken for fools by Westminster concerning their own vast assets and wealth. The reader should take some time and join the dots for themselves. Analyse and compare the data and you will find that the emerging picture is very far from the doom and gloom independent Scotland some would like you to believe. Trust me, with the current and future oil and gas reserves, the debt and finance issues are not a problem for an independent Scotland. The only people who get the ``sums wrong`` on Scottish oil and gas revenues are the people who have, and continue to conceal, the REAL value of Scotland`s vast oil and gas wealth

    To conclude, the oil and gas potential of the Scottish Atlantic Margin is VAST, and the article contained expert evidence to prove this assertion. However, the Scottish North Sea is often used as an area for certain individuals to `bleat` about ``declining`` Scottish oil and gas reserves and revenues. The web site www.petroleum.co.uk (2014) contains a quote which will silence the gloom and doom merchants. It states, ``The North Sea crude oil fields are still fairly full and are arguably, the second most influential oilfield (in the world) in economic terms``. Not much ``declining`` there, is there? Add this to the Scottish Atlantic Margin oil and gas reserves and it will be a VERY LONG TIME indeed before Scottish oil and gas reserves come anywhere near ``declining``. As the writer stated previously, try an estimate of 100-150 years for starters, depending on extraction rates. For Scotland, there is everything to ``play`` for, and the rewards for an independent Scotland will not only be SIGNIFICANT, but IMMENSELY SIGNIFICANT. London has had its chance, and blown it big time by `criminally` squandering Scottish oil and gas revenues.

    Nicola Sturgeon.

    The whole Yes vote actually - a manifesto based on lies and assumptions.

    I'd rather be lied to by Scots with Scotland in mind than a bunch of self-serving Eton ****ers.

    Better the devil you know.

    ER, like Nev, would rather be ruled by a bunch of rich, posh Etonians in London than by people elected by the Scottish people. It's a subservience I struggle to understand (more so with ER than with Nev to be honest - after all, Nev's a hun).

    That's all politicians. Scottish and English.

    And especially Welsh.
